DID YOU KNOW? Americans spend an estimated $200 billion a year in treatment and missed work due to back pain – and lower back or lumbar spine pain is one of the most common complaints. Pain can range from irritating to debilitating, with symptoms such as muscle spasms, leg pain or weakness, difficulty sleeping and difficulty moving normally.

If you are experiencing lower back pain, Chiropractic Care may be the answer. Our team has put together a list of the top benefits of why you should be considering seeing a Chiropractor and what to expect during your visits. Read on to find out more about this Holistic Treatment. 

Benefits of Chiropractic Care

In 2018, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Network Open, documented the findings of the effects of Chiropractic Care on lower back pain showing many benefits.

After six weeks of Chiropractic adjustments, the patients reported:

• Decrease in pain 
• Extended range of motion with decreased disability
• Higher satisfaction with results over other previous treatments
• Reduced need for pain medication

Additional benefits people experience with Holistic Chiropractic Care include: 

• Lowered blood pressure
• Improved posture
• Enhanced quality of life
• Increased strength
• Improved sleep
• Improved disc space
• Prevention of joint erosion

More than 22 million Americans visit Chiropractors each year, and 35% of those are looking for relief from lower back pain. The manual manipulation utilized during a Chiropractic adjustment is to help align the musculoskeletal system.

In fact, when the spine is in alignment, it is believed that patients can be relieved of pain without the use of medications or even surgery.

What to Expect During a Visit

Your Holistic Chiropractor will need to find out as much information as possible, in order to conclude what the best course of treatment is for you. It is about working with you beyond just pain relief and focuses on improving the function of your body as a whole. 

First, your Chiropractor will take a medical history, along with inquiries to your specific pain. Be prepared to answer questions related to the nature of the pain and whether or not an injury precipitated it. Your practitioner will do a physical examination and may request lab tests and MRI to rule out other causes of the pain. 

Once your Chiropractor has completed a thorough examination and has fully assessed your condition, then an appropriate course of treatment will be presented and discussed with you.
